AK Interactive AK066 Afrika Korps Wash (35 ml)

AK Interactive AK066 Afrika Korps Wash (35 ml) is a ready-to-use enamel wash with good flow that highlights seams, rivets, welds, panels, and other recessed details. This specific shade is designed for Afrika Korps vehicles and other light desert camouflage schemes. It highlights details on sand and desert paint schemes and helps create a natural accumulation of dirt in recesses.

The wash is not a covering paint. Its thin consistency allows it to flow into recesses, where it creates shadows and visually separates individual structural elements. The intensity can be controlled by the amount of product used and by subsequent cleaning of the surface.

Recommended Procedure

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed.
2. Apply to a completely dry, painted or varnished surface. A smooth satin or glossy varnish will facilitate precise penetration into the seams; if using an unfamiliar combination, first test compatibility on a hidden area.
3. Using a medium-sized round brush, apply the wash around details, into joints, and into recesses. For a precise pin wash, use a fine, pointed brush.
4. Let the product dry for about 15 minutes. Remove excess with a clean brush lightly dampened with White Spirit or a milder, odorless thinner.
5. Repeat the cleaning process until only the desired shadow remains around the details. Allow the layer to dry thoroughly before applying any further enamel effects.

Practical tip: Work sparingly on light surfaces and remove excess before the wash creates overly harsh dark edges.

Use AK Interactive White Spirit 35 ml to adjust and remove excess. AK Interactive Odorless Thinner 35 ml is suitable for gentler and less aggressive blending.
